Anyone Thing Ms Might Have Wanted This To Be Relea

1.  they can't require people to log on to xbox live in order to get a game to work.

They can still include a dash upgrade on the disk that will patch security holes and not allow a game to run unless the patch is in place...

Although quite cost ineffective, I bought a second box to toy around with to avoid live banning, dash upgrades (will never see a game disk), etc.

Please feel free to correct me if i'm wrong (as it has been known to happen on RARE occasion, j/k hope you guys can take jokes)

I don't think anyone has anything to worry about. MS can never stop people from running unsigned code on Xbox.

I think if you use Xbox-Live with this exploit then you are only asking for trouble.  What's the big deal with Xbox-Live anyway?  With XBConnect I can play games online and it's free.  I guess downloading new levels, etc.  As long as you are not using Xbox-Live, then M$ can't do anything to your xbox.  I don't think you need to be so paranoid.

What about new games with automatic, mandatory Dashboard updates?

I think these people that like to play with strangers online really dig it. I only play online games with people I know, so Xbconnect is the way to go in my opinion.. I can fire it up, host a game, and not pay MS$ a dime.
